Tag: Nokia E71

Originally titled “Blogging When You Feel Like It,” this is my third attempt at blogging with Nokia E71, the second one disappeared unsaved just a few seconds ago, but I refuse to be pissed off about it so I’m trying this again. :-p

DAY TEN. I’m one-thirds of the way through this 30-day thing, and while I didn’t really plan on taking a break between days 9 and 10, I’m actually glad I did.

Would I sound too self-consumed if I say I’m happy to know that someone actually noticed (for the second time) that I missed a day? I can’t help it! It makes me giddy finding out that someone, besides my mom, would bother to read and see how I’m doing with my 30 days. So thanks, Chinky, you made my heart swell with joy. :)

Also, to you who keeps on spellcheck-ing my posts, I’m really not that sure I know who you are, you see, I’m friends with a lot of grammar nazis — you know how birds of the same feather flock together — and I’m thinking, you can be anyone. So please say your name, so I can thank you properly for pointing out that I’m a human being capable of typos here and there. Lol.

I’m just happy to stay away from my laptop for a while you know what I’m saying? For someone who eats and breathes the internet every single day, whose demarcation line between work and play lies on browser usage (Firefox for work, Safari for play), it’s a breath of fresh air to shut off my laptop, spend a day with friends, read a good book, or sit through a chickflick that’s playing on Starworld while munching on french fries for a change.

And I know it does sound like I’m trying to make an excuse for failing to comply with my self-imposed 30-day rules, maybe I am. But siiigh, for this instance I just love the thought of failing, and breaking rules, and coming to terms with my imperfections, and then blogging about them. Awesome.

Meanwhile, the 30-day challenge is still on, and I can be sure that there will be some delays in the next few weeks, nevertheless, it shall be completed.

Man. Something about qwerty that makes me blog a handful. I stop nao.

30 Days of Awesome, 10/30.

Edit, two days later. Added links.

..is awesome!

DAY SIX. Wow. People can actually do this? :) Forgive my amazement, I came from two years with a Samsung E250, which I thought was kinda jurassic (it came with a Sun Cellular line so how can I complain?). I never really figured out how to use WAP on that thing even, but I’ve grown to love it just the same. After all, it served me well for two years and survived dropage (lol, is there even a word?) of various forms and ways, the last one being into a pail of water in my bathroom, before finally succumbing to death.

But that’s the E250. Let’s talk about this *cough*still-unpaid*cough* Nokia E71.

6/30. Blogging with Nokia E71

I’ve always thought I’m a Nokia person, though I happened to have tried a Sony Ericsson and a Samsung in the past. Woot, I’m back to using a Nokia now. :)

Truth be told, I’m a sucker for pretty-looking phones. Often, I’d choose one for its looks, not for its technical specs. I still currently have in possession a pink Sony z70i, which I only bought because it’s pink but never really got to use so much. Oh hey, i’m putting it up for sale btw. :-p

This Nokia E71, while loaded with awesome features, was actually a choice I made because I thought it was really pretty. I even waited for weeks to find the white version because I refused to get the black or the silver one. And mind you, it was not easy finding this. The white E71 had been out-of-stock for some time, trust me when I say I’ve looked far and wide, that’s why when I finally found one last remaining stock at some store in Megamall, there was no room for second thoughts.

And here I am now, feeling like I won the lottery for finding a cell phone that’s not only pretty but also a useful tool, considering my line of work. I love how I can check email anywhere, and read through my favorite feeds. And I’m loving the qwerty too. I didn’t think I’d have the patience to learn qwerty since my fingers have already become accustomed to the normal way of texting all these years, but now, qwerty is the way to go baby!

Lastly, I like being able to blog in a situation where it’s crazy — not impossible but crazy — to open a laptop, like in a cab ride such as this one. Why hello traffic, this one’s for you! The only worry I have now is if this thing has autosave, I think not, so this has to be posted on my first try.

Or else my next post will be about why mobile blogging sucks. :-p

In the spirit of being consistent with my 30 awesome things, I shall upload a photo to come with this post, later with my mac. Yeah, I’m OC like that. Ta-ta!

Edit, few hours later. Notes in parenthesis are added with my Mac. :)

Edit, some more hours later. Added a photo.

30 Days of Awesome, 6/30.
